A shame to look through the locked gates at such a beautiful expanse of land bordered by the Great Miami River.
The following is the Site Description taken from the Super Fund website:
The Armco Hamilton site consists of about 252 acres divided between two pieces of property north and south of Augspurger Road in the village of New Miami, about 1.5 miles northeast of downtown Hamilton, Butler County, Ohio. The site is an inactive facility that produced iron for steel making. The site is bordered to the south and east by the Great Miami River and to the north and west by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad tracks. The former manufacturing portion of the site consists of a fenced parcel located south of Augspurger Road. The northern portion of the site includes a rail yard where piles of waste from air pollution cleaning equipment were stored. A 4.5-acre closed landfill is located north of the rail yard. It is covered with grass and fenced. A small unnamed tributary borders the landfill to the east and flows east to the Great Miami River. The river runs along the entire eastern length of the Armco site. The property is close to both public and private drinking water wells. The facility began operations as a steel mill around 1900 and has changed ownership several times. Armco (American Rolling Mills Co.) purchased the site from the Hamilton Coke and Iron Co. in 1937. AK Steel Corp. was a general partner of Armco and is the current owner of the site.
